EuTCV, a typhoid conjugate vaccine designed for co-administration with measles-rubella and yellow fever vaccines in both single- and multi-dose presentations, was developed to enhance compatibility with EPI schedules. Phase 3 trials in Kenya and Senegal demonstrated immunological non-inferiority to the reference vaccine Typbar TCV, with acceptable safety and reactogenicity across infants, children, and adults. A three-year immune persistence follow-up study is ongoing in a subpopulation in Senegal to assess the durability of vaccine-induced protection.
